That's awesome, congrats dude! Keep us posted.

The CBR600 is a bike a rider could potentially never outgrow. They're brilliant machines.
Thanks mate going back through with my cousin after work tomorrow so hopefully it'll be mine by the weekend. I'm like a kid a Christmas I can't believe how good it still looks at 19 years old.

Brilliant OP, very excited for you.
There was a lot of talk earlier in the thread about how docile they are in the first half of the rev range, and that’s true. But work up gradually to those higher revs, things start to happen very quickly up there so make sure you’re prepared for that.

I though it was all going so well. Run a hpi check on the back tonight and it was cat c wrote of in 04. Gutted but not as annoyed as I would have been if I’d bought it and found out later. The search continues
